Every row below was read from the vendor's own OpenAPI document. The summary text is theirs. What this registry adds is that each operation is indexed with its method, path, base URL and auth scheme, so a search for a capability can answer with a call rather than a name, and that the endpoint is probed on a schedule.
Specifications as held by the APIs.guru corpus, whose newest record is 2023-04-21. Operations the vendor has added since are not listed here; the origin links above are the vendor's own current documents.
